way of life
other than that of your smile
and your thoughtful silence
when you’re in my arms.
I could live there
for another year,
another lifetime,
and in all places
you call home.
Let me love you
from first to last
and let me chronicle
your presence,
in part,
from day to day,
in celebration of you
and your thoughtful silence
when I’m in your arms.
More than anywhere else
an embrace was the place
where we both belonged.
